TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42812 SUBJECT: The EP-WXT trigger 01709248783 is likely a flaring star DATE: 25/11/23 09:51:43 GMT FROM: EP Team at NAOC/CAS ep_ta@bao.ac.cn
C.-L. Guo (NAO, CAS), J. Yang (ZZU), W.-F. Wen (SZTU), and Z.-X. Ling (NAO, CAS) on behalf of the Einstein Probe (EP) team:
The EP-WXT trigger 01709248783 at the time of 2025-11-23T09:00:39, is likely a stellar flare associated with a Double or Multiple Star BPS CS 31060-0015. The estimated flux of the flare is around 1e-10 erg/s/cm^2 in 0.5-4.0 keV, corresponding to an X-ray luminosity of around 3.8e30 erg/s.
Launched on January 9, 2024, EP is a space X-ray observatory to monitor the soft X-ray sky with X-ray follow-up capability (Yuan et al. 2022, Handbook of X-ray and Gamma-ray Astrophysics).
